Holding your tongue is so hard, when you have so much to say,
An ocean of thoughts but these thoughts are held under oceans of waves.
A simple gesture to hold them at bay but it's not so simple as some others say.

A thousand words, a world within a head,
I can not spill, for fears and thoughts of imminent dread.

I tasted happiness
But it was fragile**
I breathed it in too deep
And far too fast
